COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

Mini-Duck-Me

My first "atelier" was my parents' house's sitting room, late seventies, early eighties; under the giant glass block window, after having watched Disney's 'Robin Hood' at the old Schubert Kino. What a day that was.

313 GTi

Another cast-out ride from Gearloose's garage, the 313 GTi. It indeed gives me great pleasure finding the finest locomotion for Donald Duck. Here, for this early development thingy, I even did a quick clean-up.

Gyro Gearloose's Garage

A few cast-out vis-dev sketches I did about two years ago, searching for the right visual tone or voice for the gadgetry.

J. Bompart is a monster, he really is.

It's almost unbelievable to see what he's built and animated out of one single drawing of mine. Here's Jorge Bompart's finished animation of the Yellow Glove Rover 313.

Team Duckberg at Wacky Races?

But what if Disney had sponsored a team in Hanna-Barbera's Wacky Races, with Donald Duck as the racing-car driver, in a 313-X GGT (Grand Gearloose Tourer)? Another "But What If ...?" rough sketch from my "That Would Be Awesome" crossover list.

Wonder Beak 3D by Jimmy Levinsky

Since Jimmy Levinsky, together with his pal Tommy Kinnerup, launched their 2D and 3D development service 'Characters for Animation' recently, I thought it would be a nice idea to reprise the wonderful 3D work Jimmy did with my Wonder Beak character, some time ago.

FABW

Some of the demo sketches I did at the character design workshop Laura and I were holding at Film Academy Baden-Wuerttemberg over the past couple of days. It's always a pleasure working with the FABW students, it really is.

Duckland 2

Whaaaat?

Indeed, the ducks will return. The answers to the questions Where, How and What will follow as soon as the final programming adjustment decisions took place.

Background: Carl Spitzweg, 'Lappländer im Winter', ca. 1850, partly repainted.

It's all Giorgio Cavazzano's fault!

My earliest memories of fictional vehicles with legs instead of weels, enabling their pilots to deal with even the wildest off-road tracks, come from a 1970s Walt Disney Comics story by Giorgio Cavazzano (drawings) and Rodolfo Cimino (story); at least before George Lucas' All Terrain Defence Pod (AT-DP) Walkers entered into my life.
From then on, I was "doomed" to draw those kind of rides, too. Many thanks to Michael (duck313) for helping me with the original references.
